This is Boulder County, Colorado

Boulder County is home to more than 300,000 residents and includes some of the most diverse, natural landscapes and sustainable development along the Northern Front Range of Colorado.

From visionary open space, land use and sustainability policies to forward-thinking and compassionate human services programs, our county government helps foster a vibrant, healthy and active community.

The county seat is the City of Boulder. Other incorporated towns and cities include: Erie, Jamestown, Lafayette, Longmont, Louisville, Lyons, Nederland, Superior, and Ward.

The change better aligns Boulder County with our partners at the USFS so that we have the same level of fire restrictions on their land as well as on land in unincorporated Boulder County. The main difference is the allowance of rec sport shooting. Camp fires are now also allowed in constructed, permanent fire pits or fire grates, within developed recreation sites on public land.

Beginning June 1, additional Boulder County services will be reopening in-person to the public with new health and safety guidelines in place. Other county services will still be provided online only as the health and safety of staff and the public are the top priority for county leadership. For most in-person services, access will be limited to appointment only.

The Boulder County Board of Health has approved an extension of the Boulder County Public Health Order requiring face coverings for every person older than 12 years old whenever in public anywhere in Boulder County that social distancing of six feet cannot be maintained. The Order will remain in place through Tuesday, June 30.

Most criteria for easing restrictions will be met and facial covering requirement will begin. Adherence to the requirements, along with wearing face coverings when it's difficult to maintain 6 feet separation, will help to limit the spread of disease and support local businesses to remain open.

District Attorney Michael Dougherty advises Boulder County community members to be aware that scammers are exploiting the US government stimulus relating to the COVID-19 virus outbreak. The District Attorney’s Office is providing a flyer in English and Spanish as a quick reference guide to help protect the community against stimulus scams.

“Just as we did in the 2013 Flood, we are looking for all available resources to help us address the growing community needs in Boulder County around this global health crisis,” said County Commissioners Chair, Deb Gardner. “Our teams of dedicated staff and public officials are working around the clock to meet our local needs for assistance and ensure that the concerns of our residents are being fully addressed."
